Anti-Israel protesters gathered in the Arab world and beyond today to protest Israel’s bombing campaign against Gaza, the AP reports. At the largest protest, in Lebanon, tens of thousands of Hezbollah supporters listened as the group’s leader warned Israel of the futility of a ground invasion. "Israel's air force will fail to destroy the will of the fighters firing rockets," Hassan Nasrallah said by video link from an undisclosed location.

A crowd of 3,000 in Egypt rallied to criticize the government for closing its borders with Gaza, and called for military intervention. The leader of the Muslim Brotherhood told the crowd to declare their “anger through peaceful means.” Protests against the Israeli attacks sprung up from Iraq to Greece, while militant mullahs in Iran set up online registration for volunteers to take up arms against Israel.

Indeed, what a bunch of hypocrties. Keep hitting them Israel. Deffend your self.

Read the news more closely. Roughly (numbers hard to verify given the situation on the ground) 83 % of those killed were Hamas soldiers. The rest were civilians living in the neighborhoods in which Hamas hides their military operations. All deaths are tragic but it's hard to take protests seriously when they protest Israeli incursions but not Hamas rockets.
